Abstract (en)
A head unit of a depilation appliance comprises at least one pair (11) of hair-clamping elements (12, 13), wherein the hair-clamping elements (12, 13) have tweezer surfaces (14, 15) which are arranged to face each other, and which are movable towards and away from each other in their entirety so as to be movable into and out of contact to each other. In order to achieve improved hair-clamping performance of the at least one pair (11) of hair-clamping elements (12, 13), the tweezer surfaces (14, 15) are further configured to align relative to each other when they are made to move into contact to each other. It may be practical if at least one (14) of the tweezer surfaces (14, 15) is arranged so as to be at least partially movable in the respective hair-clamping element (12) by being included in a tiltable construction or a flexible/compressible construction, for example.
